Take caution with ladders: Approximately 65,000 workers are injured in ladder-related accidents every year. Inspect all ladders for broken rungs, missing bolts, and broken parts before use. Make sure the ladder is on level ground, and hold both sides when descending and ascending.

Beat the heat: Preventive measures are key in the summer. Proper hydration and light clothing keep workers cool, as well as heavy-duty work tents and umbrellas.
